Daily Devotional: FAITH FOR THE RAPTURE In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed (1 Corinthians 15:52). At the Rapture, not everyone will hear the sound of the trumpet. It’ll be audible only to the Christians who died in Christ already and those alive at the time. Everybody else won’t hear it, because the sound of the trumpet would only be heard by faith. It’s not something you’re going to make an effort to hear, because as a Christian, you already live byRead More →

Daily Devotional: DON’T SUCCUMB TO EVIL And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time (Daniel 7:25). The phrase “wear out” in the verse above is translated from Aramaic into English. It means to afflict, to constantly harass. One of Satan’s strategies in these last days is to foment so much evil in the world that could provoke God’s people to a compromise. He seeks to wear out theRead More →

Daily Devotional: IMPACT YOUR WORLD And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it (Colossians 4:17). You were born for God’s glory. You were created to live an extraordinary life that pleases God, and you can’t live such a life without making an impact. So, go ahead and make a difference in your world through the Gospel. It’s the most significant and impactful message in all the world, saving and changing lives everywhere. Hallelujah! Romans 8:19 says, “For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.” ThenRead More →

Daily Devotional: THE WORD IN YOUR MOUTH “Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart” (2 Corinthians 3:3). Writing the Word in your heart is very important. This is done through meditation and constant confession of the Word. The more you do this, the more the glory of the Word is manifested in your life. We’re admonished in the Scriptures to be filled with the knowledge of God’s Word, for out of that abundance,Read More →

Daily Devotional: FOCUS ON THE LORD AND HIS KINGDOM Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this (Isaiah 9:7). David prophesied of a king who will rule over the nations of the world. He said in Psalm 72:8, “He shall have dominion also sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.” Our opening scripture says concerning that King, “OfRead More →

Daily Devotional: UNDERSTAND AND SPEAK THE WORD My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge… (Hosea 4:6). There’re Christians whose experiences in life are an antithesis of their faith and the Word of God. For example, they may believe that as Christians, they’re not supposed to be oppressed by Satan, yet they experience continual satanic attacks and manipulations. They believe they aren’t supposed to be sick or have infirmities in their bodies, yet they’re hardly in good health. Something is wrong. There’re two important areas to examine in dealing with such inconsistencies. First is the accurate understanding of the Word. In Matthew 13, Jesus emphasizedRead More →

Daily Devotional: THE NEW HEAVEN AND THE NEW EARTH For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? (Mark 8:36-37). When a new model of a product or device is advertised with far better features, oftentimes, the value of the current one drops; especially if it’s to be phased out. Generally, all who are interested in the product start preparing for the new one, while losing value for the old. This is how you should view this current world; it’s going to be burntRead More →

Daily Devotional: WISDOM FOR A GREAT LIFE How much better is it to get wisdom than gold and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver? (Proverbs 16:16). 1 Corinthians 1:30 says, “But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom….” Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom….” Christ Jesus is your wisdom; and who is Jesus? The Word; and the Word of God is the wisdom of God. To ignore God’s Word would be to ignore wisdom. The Bible says, “Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed…” (Proverbs 13:13). God’s wisdom is theRead More →

Daily Devotional: PARTAKERS AND DISPENSERS OF DIVINE LIFE For the scripture says, “The first man, Adam, was created a living being”; but the last Adam is the life-giving Spirit (1 Corinthians 15:45 GNB). 2 Peter 1:4 says “whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.” Being partakers of the divine nature means we’re associates of the God-kind; we’re in comradeship with divinity. But that’s not all! Not only did He graciously grant us to be sharers of His life, He alsoRead More →

Daily Devotional: TALK RIGHT AND HAVE A GREAT LIFE …for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me (Hebrews 13:5-6). Proverbs 6:2 says, “Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the of thy mouth.” This scripture underscores the precarious situations many have found themselves in today. They’ve been bound by their words. It’s so important that you talk right as a child of God. When you talk right, you’ll live right; your life willRead More →
